San Diego Humane Society Rescues Three-Month-Old Puppies Stuck in Ravine

Two terrier mix puppies were doing well after being rescued from a ravine near San Diego, California, on Friday, September 15, the San Diego Humane Society (SDHS) said.

SDHS said rescuers were called to the 28000 block of Murphy Canyon Road just after noon on Friday by a “good Samaritan” who had spotted two puppies stuck at the bottom of the ravine.

Six members of the SDHS Emergency Response Team’s Technical Unit attended the site and safely rappelled down the ravine to retrieve the puppies.
